Hey,
which ES version are you using? Seems to work with the latest version. You
can also use the index template API, so you do not have to fiddle with
local files (and copy them when adding new nodes).
PUT _template/automap
{
"template": "*",
"mappings": {
"_default_": {
"numeric_detection": true,
"properties": {
"message": {
"type": "string"
},
"host": {
"type": "string"
},
"@version": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}
